The White pIains BURGLARS.

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, Jan. 21.-The
two burglars who killed VIM. E. Mead last
night, came down on the Chatham express
train, which arrived here at S:45. When
they went into Meads bakery young son
OF George Mead came out to see what they
wanted. Hold up your hands," said one
OF them. The boy ran into back room
and called his brother William, who came
out and told them to leave. They did not
go and William caught one of them by the
throat and pushed him to the street. The
robber then pulled revolver and fired
Mead fell dead through the window and
the men ran away towards Tarrytown.
Chief Lee, who had a party at his house,
was notified and taking Frank Cox and
John McAlister in sleigh started after
them, taking the bells off his horse and
soon overhauled them. The men again
fired at their pursuers, and the officer and
men returned the fire, killing one man and
mortally wounding the other. who died at
4 O'Clock this morning. They we've shot in

Chief See and his party had come up with

HOW TO KEEP OUT OF DEBT.

From the Monroe On. c. Enquirer.
One of our merchants who was out
on collecting tour a few days ago
tells US that he saw a practical ex-
emplifcation of living hard to make
both ends meet without going in
debt. The gentleman with whom he
stopped tor dinner, just over the line
in Chesterfield county, S. c., owned
several hundred acres OF unencum-
bered land, but owing to a bad crop
year, had gotten in debt hundred
or two dollars, and he and his wife,
knowing how soon a mortgage will
eat up land, he resolved to Give
hard" until they could retrieve their
wasted fortunes and get out of debt.
The gentleman's wife told him they
had not bought yard of cloth Of any
kind In over two years, and that they
were living on plain bread and meat
and rye coffee, and all growing fat on
it. This is a great deal better than
to mortgage the homestead" and
then live high on long credit prices
until the land is gone, and wife and
children without home. A good
many are doing this.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.

A sequel to vendetta occurred at
night on the farm of Walter Ridgelv.
20 miles north of Texarkana, Ark.
-Four weeks ago Ridgely interferred
in behalf of st. Louis drummer
who was being overcharged by a
couple of ferryman named Muryhy.
During the dispute the ferryman
reached tor their weapons and we're
both shot dead by Ridgely. One
week later he was waylaid by two
cousins of the men he had shot and
two other relatives. Ridgely's horse
was shot under him, and drawing
his weapon he concealed himself be-
hind the animals body until the am
bushers cnme up and then he killed
two Of them. Last night he heard a
disturbance in his stable, and sup
posing that a horse thief had enter
ed the premises he took Wincester
rifle and started to the barn. A num-
OF wagons and carts were scattered
about the yard, and when in the
midst Of these he received a yolley
from three sides. He fell at the first
fire, but struggled to his feet and
opened with his Winchester on the
assassins, who, believing he had been
killed, stepped out from the vehicles.
A terrible fight at close quarters with
Winchester rifles and revolyers fol-
lowed, and when Ridgeley's family
reached the scene FIVE minutes later
they found him lying on the ground,
shot to pieces, but still breathing.
There were three dead bodies beside
him. They were identified as two
more of the Murphy's. A physician
was summoned and found Ridgely
had been shot four times through the
body with Winchesters. Three of the
bullets were extracted, and during
the probing Ridgely refused to take
an opiate. He is not expected to
live, but says he killed all his assail-
ants, not one escaping He is
wealthy farmer.

The true North Carolinian doesn t

system He either hates both or
simply tolerates them as necessary
or unnecessary evils. SO when the
'revenuers" are discomftted there is
always JOY, more or less subdued.
In the district west of Raleigh the
reyenuers laid all their plans for the
capture Of a still" They choose
bad weather and made their way to
the scene. They were so well armed
that the primitive country people
thought Of the war. After a long
and stealthy journey through the
woods they found the still, and, with
cooked carbines, rushed upon it and
the "moonshiners" who were at work.
The latter looked with astonishment
at the charge. The revenue people
reached their prize only to find that
it was a still for the manufacture of
oil from sassafras roots and bark, and
that the "moonshiners" were making
this very salable oil for shipment.
The revenuers fled from the scene
amid roars of laughter.

A laughing plant" grows in Ara
bia, with seeds producing effects like
those OF laughing gas. The flowers
are of bright yellow and the seed
pods are soft and woolly, while the
seeds resemble black beans, and only
two or three grow in pod. The
natives dry and pulverize them, and
the powder, if taken in small doses,
makes the severest person behave
like circus clown or madman; for
he will dance, sing and laugh, and
cut the most fantastic capers, and be
in an uproariously ridiculous condi-
ton for about an hour. When the
excitement ceases, the exhausted ex-
hibitor of these antics falls asleep,
and when he awakens he has not the
slightest remembrance Of his risky
aOings. - a.

A MANS BODY In AHAY BALE.
From the Carson (Nev. Appeal.


Last fall young man named An
derson, who was working on ranch
in Carson Valley, suddenly disap-
peared, and although an exhaustive
search was made for him, no trace of
his whereabouts could be discovered.
When last seen he was working near
a hay baler. He was first missed at
the dinner table, but no special ankle
ty was felt, as it was supposed he had
laid down through sickness. His
disappearance was nine days talk,
and it was finanally surmised that he
had left the country on account of a
love affair. Day before yesterday,
however, he turned up in Virginia
City. William Mooney, the satble-
man, purchased load of alfalfa hay
In bales of the rancher on whose
place Anderson had been missed.
He went to open one OF bales, when
he found inside the body of Ander-
son in good state of preservation.
1t is now rumored that Anderson,
who was at the machine, fell in, and
the helpers about the spot were too
busy talking politics to notice him,
and 50 he was tied up along with the
balance of the hay. He evidently
died of sufiocaticn and made no sign.
The remains were given a Christian
burial.

THE NEED OF A GOOD COLLECTION
LAW.
Albany News and Advertiser.

AiDdHy news ana Advertiser s.
When the Georgia legislature meets
in July next there is nothing it could
do that would be of more certain and
lasting benefit to the people OF the
State than to enact good staighttor-
ward collection law. Such a law
would remove the great barrier that
now stands between the people of the
State and foreign capital, and would
not only make money easier to OBJ
tain, but would reduce the rate of
interest.
1t is the man of limited means who
has to borrow, and not the money
lender, who stands most in need of
good, healthy collection law. The
man who has money to loan in Geor-
gia can, with the exercise ofan album
dance of caution, find reasonable safe
investment for it at high rate of in
terest. If he loans it all he will, nine
cases out OF ten, exact usurious in
terest, for the reason that, under the
operation of our detective and uncer-
tain collection system, capital is tim
id and the demands of the borrowing
class are always in excess of the sup
ply of money that the limited num-
Der of lenders have on hand or are
willing to invest in view of the un
certainties and delays of the law.
A majority OF the farmers and bust
ness men of Georgia are money Dor
rowers. Any law that would have
tendency to increase the supply of
money and reduce the rate of inter-
est would, therefore, be greatly to
their benefit. A good collection law
would accomplish this for them Just
as certainly as cause produces effect.
Whenever it became known that the
laws OF the State required the pay
ment of just debts and made the
debtors property liable for his debts,
then capital would come out here for
investment, and man could borrow
money to the extent of the value of
his property, at reasonable rate of
interest.
Under our present system man
has to be comparatively rich to have
any credit. The poor man who is
compelled to borrow not only has no
credit, but has no collateral. He
may have a house and lot or farm,
but this is not good collateral to the
extent of anything like its value. 1t
is hard to foreclose mortgage and
sell property under the existing laws
of this State whenever the debtor
undertakes to fight the claim or avail
himself of the laws delay, first I'M
der one pretext and then under an
other.
AS has already been said, the bor-
rowing or debtor class is largely in
the majority in this State. For this
reason legislation in favor of this
class has been popular ever since the
war. But our legislatures have made
mistake. The policy that has been
pursued has had a tendency to OPP
press rather than benefit the debtor.
1t has had the effect of shaking con-
fdence and making capital timld.
1t has deprived the man of small
means of all credit and conferred it
upon the man of wealth who does
not need it.

story about an old-school orthodox
divine, who, while attending to his
usual Sabbath ministrations, man
aged to discover who of his congre-
cation were absent, his first duty OH
Monday morning being to call on
the absentees and to find out why
they were not at church. Among
those whose places were often va
cant was one man who cared but lit
tie for the sanctity Of the holy day or
the reproof' Of the minister. On
taking his usual Monday morning
rounds, DIR. P-was sure to visit
Mr.. c., as we will call him. Said
the good man: why were you not
at church yesterday ?" Had other
business to attend to, was the blunt
reply. Mr. Co. said the clergyman,
solemnly, there will be no preach
ing in hell" well, it won't be for
the want of ministers, was the quick
rejoinder.
